Says Roosevelt = Wont Decline. Editor of “The Outicok” Is Sure the Colonel Would Accept Nomination as He Would Enlist For War. That Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would no more decline tc take the aomination for president than he! would decline to enlizi, if needed, in. time of war, is the opinicn of Lawrence F. Abbott, one of the cditors of The Outlook. This belief is cxpressed in a letied teceived in Trenton, N. J., by former Governor Edward C. Stokes. The letter received by Mr. Stoke: follows a visit he made to The Outlook office last week, when he had an inter view with Colonel Roosevelt. Mr Stokes suggested that the former pres ident write a letter, or have one writ: ten, defining his position ielative 10 the presidency. ; The letter from Mr. Abboud follows: “My Dear Governor—In answer to your letter in which vou ask me, as, one of Mr. Roosevelt's associates,’ whether he would accept the nomina- tion for the presidency, | can state my views of the situation in a few words. 1 have no authority to speak for him, and what 1 say is my own individual’ opinion. “But I have had some exceptional opportunities during the last two years not only to learn his political princi- ples, but to see at times the intimate workings of his mind, and I believe I clearly understand his attitude with regard to the discussion of his name as a presidential possibiiily. “If Mr. Roosevelt is cver elected president again it will not he because: he seeks or wants the office; t will be because the country wants him in the office to perform 2 certain job. He has had all the political and official honor that any man can possibly want. “He accepted a nomination for the! vice presidency in 1900 when such a’ nomination was thought to be equiva- lent to political oblivion, and aithough he wanted to run again for governor’ of the state of New York in order to complete some important work in that office. But his friends told him that it was his anty to sacrifice himself in| order to strengthen Mr McKinley's nomination and the campaign for sound money and national financial | honor. “He accepted the nomination on that ground, although at the time both his | friends and his enemies said that it would mean the end of his political ea- | reer. It did rot end his career, how- | ever, for in 1904 he was nominated | practically without opposition and was elected hy an overwhelming majority. “l am convinced that he does not desire the nomination and will enter no contest to obtain it, hut 1 am equally convinced that if his country- men have still further need of his ser- vices as their chief executive he will no more decline their call than he decline to enlist, if needed, in time of war. It is, however, for his party and his country and for him to decide the question. If they decide to nominate him I am sure he will aceepi: if they elect him I am sure he will serve, “] base my opinion upon bis own words. In the 18th of June, 1616, when he arrived in New York on his return from Africa, he replied to Mayor Gay- nor's address of welcome as follows: “1 am ready and eager to do my part, so far as 1 am able, in helping solve problems which must be solved if we, of this greatest democratic re- public upon which the sun has ever shown, are to see ils destinies rise to the high levei of our hope and its op- portunities. “ “This is the duty of every citizen, but it is peculiarly my duty; for any man who has ever been honored by being president of the United States 1s thereby forever afier rendered debtor of the American people, and is bound there throughout his life to remember this as his prime obligation, and, in private life, as much as iu public life, go to carry himsell that the American people may never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head.” GOES INSANE ON STREET | Judge Henry A. Dewey Parades Boston | in Uniform. Former Judge Henry S. Dewey, once | a candidate for governor and conspicu- ous in public life for years, was ar- rested in Boston on the charge of be- ing insane.

King George V., of Great Britain, hav- ing married the king's sister, the Prin- | cess Royal Louise, died in Assuan, Up- per Egypt. He was born Nov. 10, 1849. The dul» became ill here several days ago with pleurisy, which rapidly developed into congestion of the lungs. His condition caused alarm Sunday, but hopes were held out for his recov- ery. His illness followed a series of colds, his grace never having recovered from the exposure to which he was sub- jected on Dec. 13, when the steam- | shin Delhi, on which he and his wife, | the princess royal, and their two daughters were passengers, was wreck- ed on the reefs of Cape Spartel, the ' northwest extremity of Africa. The ducal party then almost lost their lives through the capsizing of the small boat in which they were being | conveyed to shore. The waether at the time was bitter cold. One of the duke's daughters was drowning when rescued | by a sailor. Three bluejackets from the French warship Friant, who took part in the resene, sank to their death. The duke and his family finally got ! to a point -f land near Taugier, and went thence to Gibraltar. After the | wreck the duke and duchess and their children continued their voyage to Egypt on the steamer Macedonia. The Duke of Fife was known as “Madcuff” among his intimate friends. | His name was the Right Hon. Alex- ander William George Duff. He was | the oldest son of the fifth Earl of Fife, his mother having been indy Agnes Georgiana Elizabeth Hay, daughter of | the seventh Rarl of Erroll, a lady not ed for many vears as the attached friend of Queen Victoria. He was born on the 1olh of Novem- ber, 1849, and succeeded to the family | titles and vast estates in 1879. He was | one of the richest peers 1m England, | his wealth being estimated away up in | the millions. He had larcc estates in | Scotland, a country seat ai Ricomond and a grand town house in Cavendish Square, London. He was a member of all the leading clubs and sat in parliament irom 1874 | to 1879, when he was made Captain | and Gold Stick of the Gentlemen-at- Arms. He was the only sprig of aris- | iocracy since Prince Albert who had the honor of handing Queen Victoria | through a Scotch reel The marriage of the Duke of Fife (0 Princess lLonise Victoria Alexandra | Dagmar, eldest daughter of the late King Bdward and Queen Alexandra, was celebrated on July 27, 'S80.

Mud In Guise of Butter. Charged with selling mud for but- | ter, 8. W. Vining, of Wayne, Ill, was! placed under arresi in Altoona, Pa, at | the request of 13. 8. Pearsail, head of | the Pearsall butter company, of Elgin, ' Ml, and also for using the United | States mails to defraud. ! Pearsall alleges that his frm bought | $660 worth of butter from Vining, at | Wayne. It is the practice of the com. | pany to pay for goods as soon as the bill of lading arrives. Accordingly, | when the bill ol lading for the Vining i shipment reached the office, a certified | check was vent in payment. | Pearsall declares that when the fir kins of “buiter” reached the ware house they were found to contain Ili nois clay. Immediately they set about to locate Vining, but the man had left Wayne. Through his mother they learned that he was in Altoona. Pear- sall came and asked the police to find him. They did. Ag soon as authority to arrest him was received from the Elgin police, Vining was taken into custody. He is said to have denied the charge ut first, then confessed. He was taken to Chicago to be turned over to the postal authorities, he having waived extradition papers. Steel Earnings Show Big Drop. Earnings of the United States Steel corporation for the fourth quarter of 1911 were $23,105,115, with net earn- ings of $19,978,521. These figures, which are subject to slight change upon completion cf the audit for the year, barely cover the amount applicable to preferred and common dividends at the present rates of 7 and 5 per cent per annum, re- spectively. The usual quarterly divi. dends at these rates were deciared hy the directors at their meeting. Earnings for the year aggregated $104,255,563, with net earnings of $84, 636,335. These figures compare with $141,144,001 und $116,895,134, respec- tively, in 1910, and are the lowest re- turns since 1908, the year following the financial depression and general indvs- trial depression. Arter payment of the pieferred and common dividends thc enreiug net in- esme for the final quarter of the year was reduced to $89,628, as against $408,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1910. At the end of the latter year the corporation carried forward a bal- ance surplus of $10,928,719. At the end of 1911 the total surplus was reduced to $4,735,462. indict Darrow For Attempted Bribery.

Lowry Hoffman, a Venango county farmer, was convicted at Franklin, Pa, of burning his brother's live stock and barn last August. One of the most damaging features of the evidence eagainst the accused related to a bloodhound foliowing = scent from the burned building to the defendant's home. Judge George S. Criswell told the Jury he could find no case in Pennsyl- vania where this question had been passed on, but that courts in other states were inclined to admit it. Hoffman is alleged to have burned the barn in revenge for the brother's | sons testifying against him in a cider stealing prank.
